Up for preorder on Kickstarter right now (though only for the US), a smaller version of 3 Squares' Tim3 Machin3 multi-cooker promises settings for rice, yogurt, quinoa, oatmeal, steam-cook and slow-cook.

On one hand, we love the idea of a Keurig-esque machine to make all those specialty cocktails our friends want when they come over. On the other hand, we're not sure if a machine will ever match the power of a good bartender.
